Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
LINDSAY LOHAN'S BEACH CLUB is a reality series starring Lindsay Lohan, as she runs a club in Mykonos, Greece. With the help of business partner and creative director Panos Spentzos, she has created a beach club that promises a fun and safe luxury experience filled with sun, sand, and a lively nightclub. She also brings in a group of young, lively hosts from the United States, including Gabi Andrews, Billy Estevez, Mike Mulderrig, and Brent Marks, to be V.I.P. hosts, and be ambassadors for the Lohan brand. The hosts also want to live it up, and have to balance their desire to have a good time in their posh villa and enjoy what Mykonos has to offer. But both Lohan and Panos are watching their every move, and those who fail to behave appropriately or bring in enough money from sun bed rentals and liquor sales on the beach and at the night club will be fired.
Is It Any Good?
The predictable reality series features Lindsay Lohan attempting to behave like a mature business professional, while still capitalizing on her dwindling celebrity status to promote the brand she is is building. But it's the drama among the group of young, good looking ambassadors, who have experience working as night club hosts, model marketers, bartenders, and bottle waitresses, that is central to the show. How far they to go to please clients and get them to spend money is also highlighted.
The show's attempt to center on Lohan's efforts while also putting energy into highlighting the antics of the unknown cast makes the show feel uneven. Meanwhile, Lohan's habit of bringing up her entertainment background when discussing any difficult situation relating to her club sometimes feels like a desperate attempt to remain relevant in today's popular culture. Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club might appeal to her fans, but it feels more like a promotional vehicle than an attempt at true entertainment.
